Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TONG-KU. China, Sept. 1. Alonpr the
Improvised and f.lmsy wharves which line
the Pel-IIo river at this point He dozens
of curious little steamers and junks dis
charging every conceivable variety of sup
plies. Anchored out-stream in the swift
and tortuous channel are dozens more
waiting wharf room to discharge cargo.
The winding little stream Is alive with
craft from here to Tlen-Tsln and from
there up to Peking, for the nations of the
world are rushing In supplies to feed the
armies before the rigid north China winter
seals the harbor and stream. From
steamships and Junks, sampans, lighters
and tugs fly the flags of many lands, and
side by side on the decks toil blue-shlrted
Americans, white-uniformed Russlanr,
sturdy Germans, Industrious, indefatigable
Japanese, busy as ants and saying no
word to anyone; French, English, Sikhs,
Goorkas, of all branches of service. Day
and nisht the toil goes on, with thousands
of coollea laboring in behalf of the con
querors, and the great piles of bales, and
boxes house high on the wharves seem not
to be diminished. Busy little cargo boats
ply out to the anchorage, twelve miles sea
ward from Taku, and laden deep with the
cargoes and troops discharged from the
big transports, labor back over the
treacherous bar and feel their way up the
winding Pel-Ho to Tong-Ku. Cumbersome
Junks with huge square sails of matting
creep behind them into endless procession,
for anything that will float is pressed Into
service for the transshipment of cargoes.
Only vessels of the lightest craft can pass
the bar at Taku. At low water a steam
launch will go aground and at dead high
tide there Is at best only scant eleven feet
of water over it. Only at one tide in the
twenty-four hours can vessels pass, lor the
night trip Is dangerous to even the most
skilled of Taku pilots.
From the forts at the mouth of the river
to Tong-Ku is hardly good rifle shot as the
crow flies, yet by the river It is a good four
miles or more and the tide runs like a mill
race. A narrow and serpentine channel, a
swift current, lack of wharf room, scarcity
of vessels and a reeking climate are some
tof the difficulties which the powers have
'combatted and are daily surmounting in
the landing of supplies, but all of them
have succeeded, and there has been re
markably little friction. One thing alone Is
plentiful, and that is labor. Coolies with
out number are to be had, and they are the
saving features of the situation. The rail
way is utilized as much as possible for
transportation but little less than troops
and Immediate supplies are hauled over it.
One track, hastily constructed, small cars
and light engines, and under Russian con
trol. It is not used for general transporta
tion purposes. It Is manned by Russian
coidlers from the Transslberian Railway,
and. all things considered, is conducted in
a very creditable manner. At each bridge
and culvert is a Russian outpost, and the
whole line Is patrolled.
AMERICANS GOT THE BEST.
At Tong-Ku the Americans have secured
about the best wharfage. The wharf ex
tends well outstream and Is accessible at
low tide, while there is plenty of room for
discharged cargoes. Major Hugh Gallagher,
the commissary offlcer In charge, has di
vided his force between here and Tlen-Tsln,
and supplies are being handled very ex
peditiously. The whole of the Yellow and
China seas has been scoured for vessels
suitable for the work, and the United States
authorities have not come out behind in the
scramble. The liberal wages paid coolie3
and native boatmen have given us a great
advantage, both here and In Tlen-Tsln. At
the same time, our treatment of the natives
has been mild and humane, the soldiers In
charge of the gangs apparently regarding
the Chinese as great fun. The Russians are
most severe In handling native labor, and
the sword belt or bayonet scabbard Is the
usual form of persuasion. It has been a
wonderful race of the supply departments
of the armies of the world, and the United
States has shown up splendidly. Things
are conducted with a vim and rapidity, in
strong contrast to the slipshod methods of
most of the nations, and the result is
shown in the quantity of supplies now ac
cumulating up river and in the storehouses
here.
From all comparisons, however, the
Japanese must be excluded. In all de
partments the Japanese army of occupa
tion works like clockwork. To the ob
fcerver no hitch is visible. Their commis
sary la meager In variety, but vast in
quantity; and almost every other river
craft flics the white hag with the red tar
get of the Mikado. Here it floats from
dozens of craft, on many wharves, and in
TIen-Tsin it is everywhere to be seen.
Coolies by tha thousand labor under it,
and long lines of them, with carts, bar
rows and acting as bearers, trot in con
tinuous streams transporting the inevitable
matting covered bales. No one knows
what the matting conceals, but whatever it
may be there are thousands of tons of it.
The Japanese army works. In all the term
Implies. It works by night and by day,
silently, swiftly, like a huge machine with
all its part in order. Day after day the
white-coated little soldiers swing by In
squads, companies and regiments and dis
appear up country. Their discipline is
6trict. they are well clothed nnd cared
for, and the other nations watch them
curiously, and then turn to view the Rus
sians. And the soldiers of the Czar appar
ently are man to man with them In num
bers now. But Tong-Ku and Tien-Tsin and
Peking are but one square in the Chinese
checker board. From the far north come
vague reports of thousands of Russians
massing in Manchuria, and on the same
wings lly rumors of thousands of Japanese
landing at remote points in China and
Korea. But these are rumor from a far
land, a land void of telegraphs and malls.
Here In the valley of the Pei-Ho is realttyi
and no or.? can say which force Is In ma
jority. Each day brings its quota, of fresh
troops, of all nations except Americans,
und each day brings Its lit lie Heet, until
the anchorage off Taku is a great city of
ships.
WAR WITHOUT FIGHTING.
In stream, behind the Taku forts, which
they reduced and over which now fly
strange Rags, still lies the fleet of light
draft war vessels and torpedo boats. Their
ence white nnd glistening paint Is yellow
and brown from the muddy water, and
outside the great men of war and cruisers
swing Idly at anchor, fleets of dingy trans
ports nestling under cover of their guns.
Ashore the tides still cast up the dead,
busy dispatch boats puff up and down the
river, soldiers debark and hurry up coun
try. It is a war without the fighting. Her
the nations seem training and stripping
like giant pugilists. Cossacks, with shurdy.
shaggy little ponies and light two-wheeled
carts. British-Indian tr-ops, tall, silent
Sikhs, armed with carbines, pennoned
lance, saber and revolver, turbaned Ghoor
kas. bare-legged and lithe, quick moving
Japs, and heavily accoutred Germans
throng the narrow, muddy streets and fill
the outgoing trains. It is a military babel
and the natives watch the inpourlng stream
of their conquerors with Chinese impas
slveness. In point of cavalry the Russians, at this
writing, probably outnumber ail the rest
By far the majority of their trooos are
mounted, which gives them a decided ad
vnntage in this land of no transportation
The Japanese con.e next in number of
mounted troops. There is an apparent
lack of artillery, out of proportion to the
toul of troops. Th Gorman have landed
a few batteries, and the British have land
ed a few naval guns ort lmprovisfl car
rlates. Four American Mt ge guns were
sent to Tien-Tsin this week with ammu
nition. Bu. few troops are kept la Tong
Ku. The Taku forts at the mouth of the
river are pretty well garrisoned by the
rations holding them, but the men are
hurried forward aa won us landul. This
Is almost a necessity because of the lack of
camping grounds. Tong-Ku is merely a
collection of one-storied huts on ground
slightly above the water, while on every
side stretch the great, flats, ill-smelling
plains of reeking mud and shallow tidal
loo2s, over which the allies floundered In
IsM. Under the hot sun they throw off
miasmatic vapors, and make the town al
most uninhabitable. The advent of cool
weather Id eagerly looked forward to hero
to improve the healthfulness of the base
and facilitate the work. As a rule the
river does not freeze until the middle of
December, and there is about ten weeks
of pleasant autumn weather.
At present the fuel situation Is receiving
much attention. There is some coal on
hand here, which has passed into the pos
fcesslon of the allies, the United States se
curing a fair share. It is only a little of
what will be needed, however, and with
the food question already practically set
tled, everyone is devoting all energy to
landing fuel. The scarcity of vessels In
these waters makes the problem a grave
one; especially as there is absolutely no
timber in this section of China. It is be
lieved that even with the best efforts there
will be a scarcity, and with the rigor of
the winter In this region much suffering
will ensue.
THE HICKORY LII CLUB.
Col. Snort Accused of Oeing? In u
Trust Awkward Questions.
"Gentlemen," said the president, "the
time has come when this club must make
a feint at the trusts. As a party we are
said to be Incapable of comprehending,
and incompetent to handle the question,
That charge is made partly on the belief
that our hands will be tied when we come
into control of the government, by the
fact that the chairman of our national
committee is largely Interested In the cotton-bale
trust, and that Richard Croker
Is the king-bee In the Tammany Ice trust,
that has been robbing the poor of New
York for the last nine months, and partly
upon the belief that there Is always a
strong tendency and inclination on the
part of our best men In Congress to sell
out, as shown by the record on previous
occasions. Moreover, they tell us that
Bryan Is a well-known friend of the silver
trust, and when he was a member of Con
gress was never heard to lift his voice
against the trust evil, which began to
spread several years before he was electedi
But with all these obstacles in the way
It Is our duty to pound the trusts with
all the fury we can muster, as long as
thero is a chance to fool somebody and
make him believe that we mean to anni
hilate them, whether we do or not. Has
any member a remark to make on the sub
ject of trusts?"
Colonel Snort said ho would like to make
an observation or two. Said he: "As a
farmer, I feel the weight of the trusts
more than anybody. Nearly everything I
buy for use on the farm is In some trust,
and I have to pay from 10 to 30 per cent,
more for everything than I did five years
ago, when the mills were Idle and seven
men out of ten were out of a Job. The
Republicans promised in 1896 to raise wages
and give employment to more men if Mc
Kinley was elected, but how has the prom
ise been fulfilled? It is true that wages
are higher and that everybody who wants
work can get it, but tho cost of living has
advanced enough to cover the advance in
wages. Beef, pork, mutton, eggs, butter,
flour, meal, in fact, everything that goes
on a worklngman's table costs more than
It did on account of the trusts."
"Colonel Snort, will you allow me to In
terrupt you for a moment?" asked the
president.
"Certainly," replied Colonel Snort, get
ting ready for a tussle with the presid
ing offlcer. 4W
"I infer from what you have said that
you are not in any truät."
"No. sir; I am not, that I am aware of.
I have had several opportunities to get in,
but I never took any stock."
"You are a member of several farmer or
ganizations, are you not?"
"Yes, but they are not trusts."
"What is a trust, colonel?"
"A trust, as I understand it. Is a large
corporation organized for the purpose of
getting better profits on production, by
cheapening cost, and when possible to con
trol prices."
"Would you call an association a trust,
tliat was organized without capital, but
organized for the purpose of regulating
prices?"
"No sir, It wouldn't be exactly a trust."
"Colonel, you are a member of the
American Live Stock Association, are you
not?"
"Yes sir I am."
"You are'also a'member of the American
Shropshire Sheep Association; National
Exhibitors of Live Stock, Horse Breeders,
Short Horns, Hereford, Poultry Fet Dog,
Swine Breeders', Spring Chicken and Jack
Rabbit Associations, are you not?"
"Yes, and I belong to the National Dairy
men's Association, .but what of it?"
"Just wait a minute. Does It cost you
anything to belong to all of these associa
tions?" "Of course It does. I have to pay my
annual dues."
"1 suppose you have a great time when
you get together in your annual meet
ings?" "Yes, we try to enjoy ourselves."
"It's a little expensive seeing the sights
In the great convention cities of the coun
try. I should judge, colonel."
"Yes, but the members are all well-to-do
and don't mind It." .
"Besides your health, and the opportunity
and excuse afforded for getting away from
your wives once in a while and having a
big time In town, what are you farmers
Into these numerous associations for?"
"Oh, Just merely to exchange views and
opinions on the best methods of breeding,
and one thing or another. We get new
ideas from each other on how to raise and
take care of stock."
"Is that all? Doesn't the subject of prices
come up occasionally when the association
Is in session?"
"Yes. there is generally a kick from some
one about low prices."
"Now, we are getting down to the mar
row of this thing. Isn't it a fact. Colonel,
that the main and only object of all the
associations to which you belong Is to
hold up the prices for cattle, hogs, horses,
sheep. Jack rabbits, butter, eggs, pet dogs
and spring chickens, so as to give the
breeders as big a profit as possible? And
haven't some of them a scale of prices
for animals of a certain class which the
members of the association have agreed
to maintain? In other words, are you
not organized precisely for the same pur
pose, with the same motive that caused
the organization of the carpenters', brick
layers, barbers', printers', painters and all
the other labor unions, simply to keep up
prices to a living point? Isn't that a
fact. Colonel?"
"Well, I suppose it is, but I never looked
at it that way."
"Perhaps you didn't, but as long as
the mechanic has to pay your price for
farm produce, you are not In a very good
position to kick about combinations con
trolling prices of other products. I see that
you are into every combination you can
get Into, and if there was a chance to
control the prices of wheat, corn and oats,
by organization, you would be into that in
less than fifteen minutes. Of course, you
would Justify your action on the ground
that they all do it, but I think It is ex
tremely doubtful whether the modern
craze of workers and producers to abolish
free competition in this manner will pan
out In the the end for the best interests
of all. If It is a good thing for one class
to organize for protection against ruinous
competition. It is a good thing for an
other, and for all others, and when all
are in It, the effect will be to raise the level
of all prices. Each individual in a class
will then be a contributor to make up the
difference between the higher artificial
price established by the combination and
the former price established by the natural
law of competition, so that what he would
gain by combination, he would lose by pay
ing the artificial price.
"Mr. Bryan is appealing to farmers and
worklngmen for money to fight the trusts.
He says the trusts won't help him. be
cause he doesn't propose to help the trusts.
We have to take his word for that, but
no man can tell what he would do if an
other giod-sized trust, like the silver trust,
should make a. proposition. Why shouldn't
he work for other trusts as well as for
the silver trust? What has the silver
trust done for him that he should devote
all his energies for its benefit, to the en
tire exclusion of nil others? The Investi
gation of the trust question will be contin
ued at the next meeting, when we will
try to show the relation of trusts to each
other." W. S. H.

Correspondence of the IndUr.aj.oli Journal.
OXFORD. O., Oct. 10. One of the most
brilliant social functions of the fall term
at the Western College, Oxford, O., took
the forxa of a birthday reception teafisred
to its president. Miss Leila S. McKee, on
the evening of her birthday. Oct. 9. The
entire day was a gala day. A hulf-hollday
was granted the students, and the after
noon was devoted to dri'.ing, walking and
wheeling in the country about Oxford. At
7 o'clock In the evening students and
faculty gathered in the art rooms of
Alumnae Hall, which were attractively dec
orated with palms and autumn leaves. At
the first notes of the birthday song of
greeting, sung by the Glee Club and writ
ten by Miss Jane Work, of the faculty.
President McKee entered Statuary Hall,
preceded by sixteen aids in dainty white
gowns, homing branches of autumn leaves
In an arch above their heads, through
which the president passed to a seat upon
the festal throne. The presence of Dr.
and Mrs. J. L. McKee, of Danville, Ky., fa
ther and mother of the president, added to
the Joy of the evening. MIs3 Bessie Peters,
i:04, of Springfield. O., with graceful speech
of welcome presented the president with
American Beauty roses. Speeches full of
warm appreciation of President McKee's
loyalty and devotion to the college and
Its students, were made by representa
tives of the classes Miss Bessie Martin,
of Ironton. O., for 1901; Miss Jessie Robert
son, of Germantown. O., for 1002; Miss
Elizabeth Hauk. of South Charleston, O..
for 1903; Miss Florence McCormlck, of Oak
Cliff, Tex., for 104; the Misses Helen Wil
liamson, of Greenwood, S. D., Agnes Han
sel, of Oak Park. 111., and Helen Morey, of
Hamilton, O., for the preparatory classes;
Miss Margaret Williams, 1900, for the
alumnae. The president acknowledged the
ovation given her with words of heartfelt
appreciation, and the evening closed with
the serving of birthday cake and Ices. Miss
Carrie Butler, of Irvington, served as one
of the president's aids.
WHY HE IS A REPUBLICAN.
A Colored Minister's Reasons for Sup
porting the Party of Freedom.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In view of what seems to be a shrewd
scheme upon the part of the miscalled
Democatic party to divide the negro vote
of this country, and especially of Indiana,
you will kindly permit me to submit the
following reasons why I am a Republican,
and the reasons why the colored man
should vote the Republican ticket at tho
forthcoming election.
I do not select the colored man because
I think him to be under greater obliga
tions to vote the Republican ticket than
other men, "nor yet because he has less
right to vote the Democratic ticket than
other citizens of this great Republic, but,
first, because of my identity with that race
and of my consequent natural Interest in
him as an American citizen, and second,
because of the peculiar conditions that con
front our race variety in our body politic.
As a veteran of the civil war and for
more than thirty years a minister of the
African Alethodlst Episcopal Church, and
having voted and worked for the Republi
can party for thirty-three years, my peo
ple and others have a right to know why I
should uniformly stand by this party, and
still being willing that my reasons for this
course should be held up before the race
and the world, I wish to submit a few of
them.
First, I am a firm believer in the doc
trines of the Republican party because I
believe they are better calculated to pro
mote the peace, prosperity and progress of
the whole people than any other.
Second I 'am a Republican in the same
sense that I am a Methodist not that I
believe In everybody in the Methodist
Church, but because I believe In the doc
trines and policies of that church. So, as
there are men In the church who are not
true, there may be men in tho Republican
rarty who are not true, and as I hold on
to the church which I have accepted as ap
proximately correct in doctrine and prac
tices, I hold on to the political party whose
history shows its doctrines, theories and
practices to be the nearest correct in mat
ters of government and administration.
In other words, as I am more for Meth
odism than for Methodists, I am more for
Republicanism than for Republicans.
Now, if I am convinced that Republican
ism Is best for the whole country, I can
not give my aid and support to any theory t
party or ism antagonistic to Republicanism
without doing violence to my conscience
and Injury to my country. I would hold on
to a good church with a bad leader rather
than to a bad church with a good leader.
But the men put forward by the Republic
an party have been uniformly good men.
From 1S56 on up to this moment the Re
publican party has had no occasion to be
ashamed of the men who have stood at
Its head.
Third I continue my fealty to the Re
publican party because of the uniform con
sistency in all matters upon which it has
pronounced Itself from Its earliest exist
ence to the present day. The Republican
party has never changed its mind on any
great issue. So far-reaching in Its fore
sight touching the need3 of the Nation, so
sound in its theories as to how best to meet
changing conditions, so prompt to grapple
all emergencies, and so just In the applica
tion of its theories to all classes and con
ditions entering into the make-up of our
composite nationality, that It has never
occasion to change front.
Fourth I am a Republican because the
party has been uniformly right on all great
questions affecting the country. Right on
the subject of slavery; right in its man
agement of the civil war; right in its
theories as to how best meet the tremen
dous responsibilities entailed upon the Na
tion by that war; right in its amendments
to the Constitution of the United States;
right in its theories regarding the best
method of restoring the Nation's iinanclal
life and credit at the close of the war;
right In its endeavors by legislation and
otherwise to enforce the amendments In
the interest and equal and exact Justice to
all citizens in all parts of this great coun
try; right on the great subject of the edu
cation of the masses; right In its theories
as to how to promote the welfare of the
common people; right on Its tariff; right on
the money question; right in the matter of
election laws for the protection of citizens
of this country in the exercise of their
political rights; right in its efforts to regu
late trusts; right in matters of domestic
Interest; right in Cuba; right in the Philip
pines, and right In China.
Fifth I would offer one more reason for
being a Republican. As a rule, the party has
been right in selecting wise and good men
as its candidates, and in the present politi
cal contest this statement applies with
special force. There has never presided In
the executive mansion at Washington a
broader, wiser, stronger, a more reliable,
honest. Just and patriotic man than Presi
dent McKinley. He knows no section, no
race, no class. Our Constitution, our courts,
our country and our credit are all safe In
his hands. With McKinley at the head of
this Nation for four years more, we shall
have Indeed and in truth "one country and
one flag." Surely ex-Confederate generals
and negro colonels, majors, captains, lieu
tenants and other officers, together with
the thousands of negro soldiers who, under
his wise and unselfish direction, are render
ing such heroic service to the Nation, will
agree with this conclusion; $3.533,612 Is paid
annually to the Afro-American by the Mc
Kinley administration, say nothing of oth
ers who are not included In this state
ment. Hence, as a black man. I have special
reasons for being a Republican, while as an
American citizen my reasons very far ex
ceed these in importance. I therefore ap
peal to the black man of this State and of
this country to stand by the party of his
tory, of consistency, and of manhood rights
in the coming election, remembering always
that if the Republican party has at any
time failed where the black man's interests
were especially involved. It was because of
the uniform opposition of the Democratic
party. R- FRENCH HURLEY.

Schools for Porto Rico.
Philadelphia Press.
American education Is making rapid
strides in Porto Rico. Prof. Martin Brum
baugh, of the University of Pennsylvania,
who was appointed commissioner of edu
cation to the Island, has written briefly
of his work to the secretary of the board
cf trustees of the university. The letter is
dated Oct. 1. nnd reads in part as follows:
"This Is 'field day in Porto Rico. To
day ?.6 schools open under American con
trol, a gain of IS?) over last year; 25,000 chil
dren will march under the American fiag
Into an American system of schools, a
gain of 10,000 over last year. This is some
thing." Professor Brumbaugh went to Porto RIcd
last June, and since then has accomplished
tho tremendous task of converting 616 na

ONE OF MR. BRYAN'S KIND
AX INDIANA DEMOCRAT WHO WOULD
EXTERMINATE ALL TRUSTS,
Yet Sees Nothing Wrong in Conducting-
n Little Monopoly of Ills Ovrn
Story Told In North Webster.
Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal.
NORTH WEBSTER, Ind., Oct. 6. When
Senator Beveridge recently delivered his
speech on trusts at the Nebraska City
rally he evidently did not know that In
diana has a trust that Is more arbitrary
and oppressive than any of the so-called
octopi against which Mr. Bryan is raving.
This Indiana trust Is controlled by one
man, and that man is a Democrat of the
most pronounced Bryan-Croker type. He
would crucify every gold advocate on a
silver cross at least he says so and he
would hitch wilcf horses to each octopus
and dismember It tentacle by tentacle. Had
Senator Beveridge known of this one-man
trust he might have cited it as an ex
ample of the evil monopolies which all Re
publicans condemn. It is a small affair,
and affects few people, but that Is not the
fault of Its promoter and manipulator. The
man's field of operations is limited to the
land he owns. This land runs (o the edge
of one of Kosciusko county's pretty lakes,
of one of Kosciusko county's pretty
lakes, and Mr. Lakefront . rents it to
campers and cottagers. So far his busi
ness is legitimate, and it Is appreciated by
people from the cities who spend their va
cations at the little lakes. The fact that
Mr. Lakefront has butter, milk, eggs,
chlqkens, etc., to sell also was appreciated
by the campers, for It sometimes saved
them a wearisome quest for provisions.
This appreciation in regard to the furnish
ing of supplies began to depreciate, how
ever, during the past summer, when it was
learned that Mr. Lakefront was charging
about two prices for everything he sold.
A huckster from a near-by town visited the
camping ground and offered to furnish
supplies at about half the rates asked by
Mr. Lakefront. He was doing a land-of-flce
business in taking orders until Mr.
Lakefront appeared on the scene and eject
ed him as a trespasser. Then the campers
were informed that no one would be per
mitted on the ground except those who
paid for the privilege, and that Mr. Lake
front himself would do all the catering
necessary to fill their wants.
It developed later that Mr, Lakefront
and wife had secured from the farmers In
the neighborhood all the butter and eggs
they could spare, paying 10 to 15 cents a
pound for butter, and that he sold It to
the campers at 25 cents. The campers
protested in vain. They could neither buy
lrom hucksters nor could they send to
town and have supplies delivered at th-3
camp. If they did not care to deal with
Mr. Lakefront's trust they could starve
or move elsewhere, and there was no. re
fund of ground rent, which was paid in
advance.
Democrats are scarce In this part of
Kosciusko county. In one school district
not a Bryanlte is to be found. The Re
publicans here tell the story of Mr. Lake
front's . trust or monopoly with a good
deal of relish. Though their acquaintance
with Democrats, owing to the scarcity of
the latter, is limited, they argue that
what one will do all would do If they had
a chance. They do not believe Mr. Bryan
is more sincere than Mr. Lakefront. Both,
cstenslbly, would wipe out all so-called
trusts, yet Mr. Bryan sees no harm In
Tammany's ice monopoly, a combination
that literarlly squeezed thousands of dol
lars out of New Yorkers this summer. Mr.
Lakefront applauds everything Mr. Bryan
says, yet he. is opposed to competition in
his line of business, and in a small way
has established a .monopoly that is more
dangerous In principle than any of the
combinations which Mr. Bryan is denounc
ing. XXX
The husking bee Is a thing of the past.
No longer do maidens and swains meet in
the big red barn and, with nimble Angers,
strip nature's covering off the ear of corn,
making merry when a red ear is found.
In place of the husking bee has come a
compact little machine that is a veritable
fiend in its way. Like the reaper and self
binder, or the threshing machine, or tho
clover huller, it Is what Senator Beveridge
describes as a farmers trust, for It does
the work of many persons. It is called a
husker and shredder by the manufacturers,
but careless people have named it the'.'man
mangier." No spike-wheeled juggernaut of
old was more merciless than the husker
and shredder of to-day, if the latter is given
an opportunity to display its mangling
powers. It is not more dangerous than
other machinery, however, if carefully
handled and the manufacturers' cautions
are heeded. The peril lies In placing the
hand on the spiked steel rollers while they
are in motion or tho operator permitting
his clothing to be caught In the revolving
spikes. In one case the man loses a hand
or arm and in the other he is probably
frightfully lacerated. The shredder does
Its work to perfection. It takes a stalk of
corn, tears It into pieces and blows or car
ries the bits into the barn loft. The husk
ing, which is done during the shredding
process. Is not always successful. Some
times the corn is too moist or too dry and
all the husks do not come oft the ears. One
machine observed by the writer failed to
perform its duty In seven ears out of one
hundred, but the operator said this was
due to the condition of tho corn, which
had been cut too green. Sometimes the
machine clogs; then the spikes lacerate the
grains of, corn and frequently shell the
ears. An elevator attached to the rear por
tion of the husker carries the corn into
bins or wagons. There is no merry laugh
ter or ovulatory ceremony when a red ear
drops out of Its covering. .The machine
whirls right along, with no regard for old
time customs, and the red ear is borne
away with its white or yellow mates to be
later fed to swine or horses.
Red ears of corn are freaks. As a rule,
like begets like In the vegetable as well as
the animal kingdom. Red corn, however,
does not produce red corn. A farmer told
me he once shelled a red ear and planted
the grains in a small tract of land away
from other corn. The product was yellow
corn with not a red ear in the lot.
North Webster is a thrifty village of
three or four hundred Inhabitants, fourteen
miles northeast of Warsaw and on the star
mail route between Leesburg and Vawter
Park, the latter being a summer resort on
Lake Wawasee. There is but one saloon
In North Webster and Its keeper is not
getting rich The merchants are prosper
ous; so are the farmers, some of whom
live in the village. The single hotel is a
favorite stopping place for commercial
travelers who usually arrange their visits
to tho little towns in the vicinity so thev
may stay in North Webster over night.
Landlord Warner knows everybody and
everybody knows him and has a good word
for "Ab," as he Is familiarly called. The
village has a band and two lodge room
Masonic nnd Pythian. On the lake near by
is the little steamer Ethel that threshes the
moss and lily pads with its side wheels
whenever there is enough money in sight to
ray for fuel, labor and wear and tear. Up
on the hill is another Ethel bonnie and
Intelligent a fair specimen of the modern
rural girl, who has been fitted by education
to preside over a city home or direct the
woman's share of farm work. Years ago
when the country was new and school
facilities meager, a farmer's daughter was
fortunate if she learned reading, writing,
arithmetic and geography. Now she is
packed off to the high school at the county'
seat after passing the grades at the local
school, and If she is ambitious she later
goes to seminary or . college. Schooling
costs the farmer more than the resident of
the city. If the farmer's children go to
high school he must pay the expense of
their board, for many of them live far from
the county seat, and high schools as a rule
are to be found only in the cities.
The Football Ilnyer.
New Y'ork Evening Post.
None but those who observe a football
season from the vantage point of a college
town can realize the sacrifice of time
strength and pleasure that the playc
makes to the common amusement. He is
largely cut off from his fellows, eats with
the team at training table, passes his after
noons with the coaches and often his even
ings with a football strategist at signal
practice. The reverity of the mere physical
exercise reduces many who are not tech
nically overtrained to a state of continual
torpor, which is most uncomfortable for
the sufferer and destructive to his useful
ness beyond the football field. Every col
lege professor knows well this football leth
argy, and recognizes the fact that for many
players the season brings practical sus
pension of Intellectual life, from sheer In
ability to concentrate the mind on any
thing but the all-engrossing pursuit. This
is the sacrifice of many a player, and It Is
hardly necessary to say that it is all wrong.
It should be possible to play football and
be a college student at the same time,
put in point of fact all but the exceptional
men must become for a couple of months
mere football players who attend college.
It Is this complete absorption In the game
which makes the opening season a dreaded
time for many who would never confess
such feelings to their fellows. No other
form of sport demands this gladiatorial
regime, and it ought to be possible to play
football with less sacrifice of the player to
the game. The trouble lies In the absurd
exaggeration, of football strategy and in
excessive training absurd and excessive
because the results are so Incommensurate
to the effort.
A TRUE AMERICAN.
Americans, whatever may be their faults
or virtues, weaknesses or strengths, politi
cal affiliations or religious preferences,
seem to be united in respect to American
Ideals, at least where their human em
bodiment is concerned. We have b.'en
charged repeatedly, and with apparent rea
son, with being a mercenary people. A
recent book of. travel, said to bo unusually
accurate in its statements, calls our coun
try the land of the dollar. Money, say
foreigners, is our god, and the worship of
mammon, to a large extent, our religion.
We have learned to accept such detraction
complacently because we know ourselves
so well that we are able to discriminate
between its truth and falsehood.
There can be no doubt whatever that In
the social and political life of American
communities, large and small, the local
magnate, the man of most wealth, can and
often does exert an Influence which is littlo
short of absolute. If he desires he dictates
the policy of the municipal government and
bends the city's affairs to his financial,
political or social interests. He controls
the church to which he belongs, and makes
the social circle, called the best because
most in the public eye, what he wishes it
to be. Y'et this local magnate is neither a
hero nor an object of worship to his fellow
cltizens. Though it bo to their discredit,
their submission to him Is a purely selfish
and practical matter. They accept him as
a leader because, either consciously or un
consciously, they expect to receive from
him some substantial benefit in return. It
is easier to go with the crowd than to
stand alone, even to endure the prickings
of conscience where a matter of principle
is concerned. If tho rich man becomes the
boss, and wrongs, great or small, creep
into municipal affairs at his instigation,
the people are directly responsible for the
condition of things which they have per
mitted through willful ignorance, love of
ease, or corrupt Inclinations. In other
words they are not enslaved by any super
stitious reverence for the rich man or any
belief in his personal superiority, or any
like feelings which actuate the down-trodden
or servile peoples of foreign countries
in their submission to the classes which
by right of birth or social position control
their destinies.
Some Americans, it is true, yield obei
sance to rich men upon whom they are di
rectly or indirectly dependent for their
support. But even this bread-and-butter
obeisance is apt to fail if the Iron hand
of the over-lord is shown too plainly.' In
other words, our people are republican
even In this most ignoble of all forms of
submission, to money power; they submit
not from force, but from choice.
One reason for this is that Americans
believe religiously in work, they look up
on accumulation as the reward of indus
try, and in yielding homage to a rich man
they are exalting their own ideas. But
they pay homage, as a rule, only to those
whom they know or with whom they are
brought into personal contact. A local
magnate seldom carries his power or In
fluence beyond his own locality. When
Americans have the perspective of dis
tance, or removal from a direct or purcljt
personal Interest, In which to judge men,
riches count for little, unless it may be;
against the men to be judged.
In America, perhaps more than In any
other country, public spirit has reached
a much, more perfect development In q
national than in a local way. Hence
American ideals are best expressed in con
nection with national interests. And itts
to our so-called public men, well-known
and claimed as representative by the Na
tion In general, that we must look for
tj'pical Americans. It Is men of this class
wjiom we make objects of our worship
and who become temporary or permanent
American heroes. And there is something
singular in the fact that among the many
such heroes to whom we have given en
thusiastic national homage, oniy two of
them remain enshrined in the universal
American heart as unquestioned types of
tho American ideal.
These two men were connected with and
developed by thc7onditlon3 which produced
the two greatest national events the revo
lution and tho civil war. The Spanish
American war, with all that It has brought
forth, seems to promise to rank as the third
great national event in the history of
America. Whether there is to be a perma
nent hero connected with that war or not,
or whether he has Just been prominently
named, may be questions difficult to an
swer. But probably no one in America to
day has come nearer to the popular heart
because of his true, valorous American
spirit, in war and in peace, than Theodore
Roosevelt. It is possible that Governor
Roosevelt may not stand the test of public
homage and public honor, and that, wheth
er successful or otherwise in his present
political aspirations, may not sufficiently
satisfy the exacting taste of the American
people to become a permanent American
type. But he has said and done many
things which hl3 countrymen will not will
ingly let die, because they are so truly and
essentially American. His own words, in a
recent address on Americanism, voice most
strongly and truly the highest conception
of the American Ideal. He says: "Our
democracy means that we have no privi
leged class, no class that Is exempt from
the duties or deprived of the privileges that
are implied in the words 'American citizen
ship.' Now, that principle has two sides to
it, itself, for all of us would be likely to
dwell continually upon one side, that all
have equal rights. It Is more important
that we should dwell on the other side;
that is, that we all have our duties and
that the rights cannot be kept unless the
duties are performed.
"The law of American life of course it is
the law everywhere the law of American
life peculiarly, must be the law of work.
The only work worth doinff Is done
by these men. these women, who learn not
tc shrink from difilcultles, but to face and
cvercome them. So that Americanism
means wprk, means effort, means the con-'
slant and unending strife with our con
ditions, which is not only the law of na
ture If tho race Is to progress, but which is
really the law of the highest happiness
for ourselves. You have got to com
bine decency and honesty with courage.
Put even that is not enough, for I don't
care how brave, how honest a man is, if
he 'is a natural-born fool he cannot be
a success. - He has got to have the saving
grace of common sense. He has got to
have the right kind of heart, he has got to
be upright and decent, he has got to be
brave, he has got to have common sense.
He has got to have intelligence, and if
he has these, then he has in him the mak
ins of a first-ciass American citizen."
New Albany, Oct. 8. M. E. C.
THE MILEAGE CLAIM All USE.
How CoiiKressmrn nnd Army Officers
Increase Their Income.
Washington Times.
The bill recently presented to the govern
ment for the expenses of an Irish wake
ecalls many similar ones that the treasury'
1 expected to pay. Accounts for every
conceivable purpoFO are filed, and the
claimants are generally most indignant on
finding that the United States declines to
acknowledge them.
"Deep down In his heart, the average
citizens wants the government to assist in
his suprort, and he never neglects an op
portunity for filing a bill for services ren
dered," said n treasury official yesterday.
"The desire Is not confined to plebeian
clerks and tradespeople. It flourishes Just
as lustily in the bosom of senators and rep
resentatives. It is surprising what little
subterfuges are employed by the solons of
the government in milking the administra
tive cow to the uttermost. One of the
favorite methods is in building up bij
mileage accounts. The senators and rep
resentatives, who fix their own salaries,
have decided on taking 20 cents a mile for
all distances traveled on government busi
ness. As that includes coming to Wash
ington and returning home, the mileage is
considerable. It would leave a handsome
margin of profit even though the congress
men paid the usual rates for tickets, and
as almost without exception they travel on
passes, the sum is pure profit.
"But the senators are not often content
with traveling over 'the shortest usual
route which is the basis for honest pay
ment of government mileage. They hunt
up the most Intricate routes Imaginable
in order to make their mileage the higher.
Having settled on a scehdule that Is as
long as the conscience of the legislator
will permit of adoption, the solon bases
all his mileage bills on that and then
travels over the shortest roads on which
he happens to have a pass. In the case
of Pacifiic ccst congressmen this is an
important item. Even allowing only 3.500
miles each way for the trip, the mileage
is .w, anu wnen two rouna trips are i
made yearly, that comes to J2.S00. It Is
more than 50 per cent, of an increase to
the salary of the congressmen, and It Is
usually pure profit.
"Army officers are always great sticklers
for mileage. The law provides that when
traveling on official business unaccompa
nied by troops, they shall be paid at the
rate of seven cents a mile. Railways do
not ordinarily give passes to army men,
but sell them half-fare tickets on applica
tion. That means a good clean-up to the
soldier who has to go on a long trip.
It is accepted as perfectly legitimate by
the officers of the treasury, who pay rea
sonable accounts without a murmur. But
not long ago army officers stationed here
on duty at the War Department began
sending In bills for mileage whenever they
went down to the marine barracks or the
navy yard. The distance from the State,
War and Navy building Is about three
miles, so that the mileage account would
be 42 cents, and the actual outlay for
street car fare would be 8 1-3 cents. The
auditors, however, nipped that scheme In
the bud. No mileage is now paid on trips
to the navy yard.
'The government allows for tips to por
ters at the rate of 25 cents a day. A fa
vorite dodge of government employes who
are in the field is to present bills for por
terage at the rate of i5 cents for each
day thus spent away from home. The
auditor's office can do little to check the
abuse, but there is a growing suspicion
that in many cases the Items of porterage
go directly into the pocket of the claim
ant himself."
MONEY IN HUCKLEBERRIES.
Pennsylvania Miners Families Clear
. Up $250,000 a Year.
Southern Farm Magazine.
The huckleberry Is a godsend to the
families of coal miners at and In the vicin
ity of Hazleton, returning to them as it
does between $40,000 and $50.000 every year
during the months that the season lasts,
and what is true of the mining center is
true of others, for the mountain regions
of the entire anthracite field are proline
in their yield of this popular fruit, says a
writer at Hazleton. Pa. It is estimated that
the total crop is worth not less than $2D0.
000 to the mining families. In what is
known as the diamond addition of Hazle
ton one of the handsomest blocks of build
ings is the property of a miner's widow,
who .was left penniless with three children,
all rtrls, ten years ago. The block was
built and paid for entirely by the pro
ceeds from the huckleberries picked by
the widow and her three children.
The huckleberry pickers of this region are
chiefly the wives and children of the Hun
garian miners and Italian laborers. Early
everj' morning during the berry season
every avenue leading to the huckleberry
mountains is thronged with picturesque
parties laden with baskets, boxes, pails
and receptacles of every kind that can be
utilized by the pickers in their work, and
hurrying to be the first at favorite and
profitable berry patches. The Italian wom
en and children are the most apt and
skillful of the pickers. An Italian woman
can pick easily forty quarts a day. which,
averaging the season throughout. Is equiv
alent to $2 earned. Then these women have
each on an average three children old
enough to be berry-pickers, who add as
much more to the day's income. Every
Italian woman conies from the picking
bearing a large box of berries on her
head and carrying a big pailful or basket
ful in each hand,-while her children also
are well laden.
Between the hours of 10 and 11 o clock
In the forenoon the berry-pickers begin
to come in from the hills, every vessel
overflowing with the wild fruit, and the
first picking of the day is ready to be
delivered to the dealers, some of xyhom, to
expedite the business, meet the pickers
with wagons at convenient points, where
the berries are purchased and paid for in
cash on the spot. The average price is 5
cents a quart, although for the early
blues, the variety that ripens first, 8 and 10
cents a quart is paid, according to the
abundance or scarcity of the crop.
After delivering their first pick the
women and children hurry back to the
berry patches and begin work op the sec
ond picking. The midday sun and a
huckleberry barren is a sweltering, stifling
spot has no deterring effect on the pick
ers. They think only of how many berries
It is possible for them to get Into the mar
ket for the day. Frequently It happens
that miners are working on short time at
this season, and the moment they are re
leased from their toil underground they
hasten to tho huckleberry mountains to
help their wives and children swell the re
Lults of the berry picking.
HAS A SIXTY-DOLLAR DILL.
riece of Money That the Treasury
Pronounced Good.
Spokane (Wash.) Chronicle.
Spokane has the only sixty-dollar paper
bill In United States currency known to be
in existence. It was issued at the first ses
sion of tha Continental Congress in 1778,
nnd carries with it all the crudity of that
age. It Is a peculrar-looklng document, be
ing a piece of greenish paper of much the
same material as the present paper money,
except that it is heavier. In shape It Is al
most square, with dimensions of about four
by three and a half inches wide.
On one side of the bill is written the re
ceipt, which is as follows:
"This bill entitles the bearer to receive
CO Spanish milled dollars for value received
in gold or silver, according to a resolution
passed by Congress at Philadelphia, Sept.
20, 1778."
On the back of the bill is drawn a bow
with a set arrow. Along the margin the
value of the bill is again printed, and at
one side the words "Printed, Hall & Solers,
1778." At the bottom of the face Is the
signature -of someone In authority. The
letters have fo faded out that it is almost
impossible to follow the characters. Some
have Imagined they could trace the signa
ture of George Wafhlngton upon thoso
Jines, but others could not imagine what
authority he had to distribute money at
that date.
This rare bill is the property of Otto
Flechtl, of the Fiechtl Quartet of the Coeur
d'Alene. It was presented to hlnr'at the
Charleston earthquake in 1&S6 for the sav
ing of an Irishman's life. The open-hearted
act of the big German toward his heredi
tary enemy so overcome the man from
Erin's isle that he gave him the only arti
cle of value he possessed.
Mr. Fiechtl was desirous of ascertaining
the true value of the bill, and In 1&3 sent
It to Washington, where It was kept for
six months while the Treasury Department
investigated the Issuance" of the bill. It was
adjudged legal, as the issue of ICO bills at
that time was known to have been made,
though this Is the only one which has not
been returned to the Treasury Department.
The piece of money has considerable value
outside of the amount upon Its face. The
Spokane man now in possession of the relic
has refused an offer of $1,000 for It, and
says no price could induce him to . part
with It.
